Telecommunication Crews Keeping Busy

April 01, 2009

On Target aerial line crews are busy running fiber optic cable throughout Maine. They are also keeping up with damage caused by harsh weather conditions this past winter. On Target has been running new fiber optic cable in Fryeburg, Houlton and Howland. They are also running fiber optic cable up Route 1 from Portland to Brunswick. Line crews and fiber optic technicians are now busy running laterals and splicing in the new customers along the routes.

Restoration services have also helped support the long winter months. Much like On Target electric power line crews, the telecommunication line crews, fiber technicians and pole set crews have been busy keeping up with the damage caused by the recent snow and ice events. On Target supports many of the fiber and copper communication system operators throughout Maine and New England. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, On Target is on call in the event of system interruption.

Power Line Upgrades

April 01, 2009

On Target transmission crews are currently working off road re-rating power transmission lines near Carrabassett Valley, Maine. The conditions are harsh and the terrain ranges from flat field areas to steep cliffs. The crews are using environmentally friendly tracked vehicles to travel to and from the work site. The vehicles used to perform the work are also track buckets and track cranes much like the one pictured above. This line rebuild will prepare the grid for future energy output from wind farms in this area of northern Maine.

On Target pole setting crews will also be in the area setting over 200 roadside distribution poles. Many of the poles will need to be set in ledge. On Target is uniquely qualified to perform this service. On Target has a large fleet of utility pole setting vehicles that include ledge trucks that assure timely completion. On Target's pole set crews have years of experience. They can set hundreds of poles for a utility project or just one at a time for a private land owner.
